[AG-TECH] Osprey Cards....... Desperation

[Bob Riddle]

I'm running on WinXP with AG 2.2 with 3 Osprey cards using the VFW and 
the "script fix" - it works just fine for me.  Remind me again - how do 
I fix the video to 288x352?  I just ran VidCap to set the Video source 
to svideo for each of the Osprey cards.
